Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam played in four games as a rookie in 2020 before going down with a torn ACL. It was an unfortunate ending to a somewhat promising year for the former Missouri prospect.
From Weeks 6 through 9, Okwuegbunam caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. While that doesn’t amount to much on paper, it does show that the Denver Broncos and quarterback Drew Lock want to get Okwuegbunam involved.
